Stopping The Pain And Saving The Tooth
At DentalX Downsview Dental Clinic , we want you to understand what causes tooth pain—and how we can help relieve it. Bacteria can enter the tooth pulp (nerve) through deep decay or cracks in the tooth. The acids produced by these bacteria irritate the pulp, causing inflammation and infection. As pressure builds up inside the tooth, it can lead to severe, constant pain.
This is why treating tooth decay early is so important. When left untreated, the infection can permanently damage the tooth pulp and may lead to an abscess forming at the root of the tooth, which can affect your overall oral health.
Root canal therapy is a safe and effective way to save an infected tooth. During the procedure, your dentist gently accesses the tooth under local anesthetic, removes the infected pulp, and carefully cleans, shapes, and seals the root canals. Digital X-rays are used throughout the process to ensure the canals are thoroughly prepared and properly filled.
At DentalX, we use modern techniques and a gentle approach to make root canal treatment as comfortable and stress-free as possible—so you can return to eating, smiling, and living without pain. Contact Us Today
